THE LITERARY LEGACY OF THE OZARKS takes center stage in Yonder Mountain: An Ozarks Anthology, a literary anthology edited by Anthony Priest, associate professor of English at Missouri State University-West Plains.

The funds will be matched with money from the chancellor’s fund and used to install compact shelving in the reference section of the library and wiring in the floors of that same area so students can use such devices as iPads, smart phones and laptops.
